Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Literature Review from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English Department), course: English Studies: Litearture and Civilization, language: English, abstract: For this study I will pay special attention to chapter two: Exclusion, Empowerment, and Partnership where thanks to many oral testimonies from the women themselves, Robnett explores further the relationships among movement participants and thus, offers a critique of black leadership. Here, she examines the role of women in sustaining the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. She correctly attributes the overall success of the 381-day boycott to the infrastructure provided by middle-class women of the Women's Political Council (WPC). She reaches the conclusion that 'what is abundantly clear is that African American women activists did not feel oppressed by their gender. Rather, they experienced feelings of empowerment and were inspired to transcend social constrains imposed by racists institutions and cultural forms (Robnett, chapter 2, page 51).' One of her main arguments is that 'women's status was gained through acts of courage, gender divisions, while quite real, were irrelevant to their day to day struggle to survive as a people'(Robnett, ch2, page 40). Through many quotations of testimonies of women who were actually involved in the movement as leaders (ex. Faye Bellamy , Septema Clark , Dorothy Cotton ) Robnett affirms that 'Women deferred to men was not at issue; the goal was the freedom of Black people and this could be achieved only through a cooperative effort' (Robnett, ch 2, p.43). The above quote implies that the importance, here is not gender, but freedom. It shows that black people are united and fight for their rights together without posing the question of gender difference. However not once in her work Belinda Robnett talks about the supportive position women had in relation to men in the Montgomery bus boycott. She remind us that 'Though men became the formal leaders of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, it is clear that without the support of the women bridge leaders and the community, their efforts would have proved fruitless.'( Robnett, p. 65). Moreover, thanks to Johnnie Carr's memories, Robnett insists on the fact that women 'took responsibility for the well-being of those who were punished for boycott actions' (p. 66) and 'took responsibility for proving lunches'(p.66). Further in Mrs. Thelma Glass's testimony one notices the repletion of the words ' service and support', 'give what type of services they could give to keep the movement going', 'people have to be fed', 'administrative support'. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: B, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English Department), course: Master in English Studies and British Cinema Studies., language: English, abstract: Laura Mulvey states in her work 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' that ' in a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/ female.' She implies that women are displayed as sexual objects for the men's gaze and she calls this concept to-be-looked-at-ness. From the above several shots we may consider that to be -look -at -ness concept is at present. Estella displays herself for Finn's gaze but she is not passive. She enjoys her power over him and uses her sexuality to hold his look and disturb him. He has become like a toy for her. On the other hand, Annette Kuhl suggests in chapter one of her work under the name 'The Power of Image: Essays on Representation and Sexuality' that 'It is now a commonplace that the transformation of the unclothed woman from being naked to being nude(one of the major 'achievennts' of the european high traditions) also bring about,in all forms of representations , the transformatin of women into objects , the site of stuctures both of exchange and of looking. The spectator is the buyer, the buyer is the spectator. To posses a woman's sexuality is, however mass-produced the image, also in the same way to posses, to maintain a degree of control over, woman in general' . Even though at first sight we tend to underestimate Finn and to think of him as a victim of the cold Estella, we realize that he, by drawing her naked, transforms her into an object of men's gaze as the above citation suggests. Thus, he maintains certain control over her. By exposing her paintings later in the film, in a galary, he in a way confirms to the public he posses her. Merrie Johnson argues that narrative cinema produces a 'masculinization' of the female spectator who 'may find herself secretly, unconsciously almost, over the diegetic world that identification with a hero provides, gains access to repressed material' Many of us may have fantasized that they were great doers of deeds and the slayers of dragons, for example, all kinds of gendered roles as Supermen, but here, in Great Expectations one definitely wouldn't want to be in Finn's position. Just as in the first sequence under study Estella leaves him once her portraits are finished and he is once again lured into a trap of seduction and left alone . He only looks after her while she leaves the room. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: B, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English Department), course: English Studies: British Literature., language: English, abstract: Bram Stoker was an Irish author born in the nineteenth century. Dracula, Stoker drew from a rich heritage of vampire legends of the Middle Ages and added a historical realism to the story by incorporating the tale of Vlad and thus immortalizing the Dracula myth. Stoker's novel, published in 1897, was also making many commentaries about England and the world in a time of great social change. This paper, however, is focused on one type of critical theory: the feminist theory in literature. When I say feminist theory I mean a feminist literary analysis that arises from the viewpoint of feminism, feminist theory or feminist politics. The basic method of feminist literary criticism includes 'the identifying with female characters, which is a way to challenge the male-centered outlook of authors. It suggests that women in literature were historically presented as objects seen from a male perspective.' According to feminist theory, in a patriarchal society there are 'good girls', who are pure and useful to their husbands, and there are 'bad girls' who are sexually explicit in their nature and are considered to be not the 'marrying type'. In the fallowing commentary I would like to draw your attention to the feminine characters Lucy Westenra, Mina Harker, and the three brides of Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Through feminist theory I will first tackle with the idea that Stoker's novel is built on a patriarchal model and that women exist only to support male characters and to bring the attention to them. From there, I will move on to discuss the fact that women in literature are historically presented as objects seen from a male perspective, which implies that sexuality is not accepted in Victorian society. To do so I will follow Lucy's, Mina's, Jonathan's, Dr. Seward's and Van Helsing's diaries. To explore the subject further I will also discuss Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Bram Stokers novel. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: B, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English Department), course: English Studies: Literature., language: English, abstract: I will begin my commentary with Hemingway's words 'A writer's job is to tell the truth' - Ernest Hemingway. Considering this quote we may come to the conclusion that it is a writer's job to convey some sort of truth or accuracy to the reader. Hemingway successfully shows the truth of his words his anti-war novel, A Farewell to Arms, through the setting and characterization in the novel. It is also shown in the novel, themes and reoccurring symbol throughout the novel. This novel takes place during a time of war WW1 and shows what war is like, realistically. For a war novel, there is not a lot of fighting but instead more of getting from one place to another and the situations that occur in the interim. This portrays a truth to the reader because it shows how war is in reality and that it is not all death and destruction. Hemingway expresses the emotions of the characters accurately for time of war and conditions or situations the characters are put into. The author shows us how the characters interact with each other and how they deal with the war surrounding them. In the following commentary I will first briefly discuss Hemingway's style in general, then I will comment on the stream of consciousness and other writing techniques used in the text under study and from here on I will dwell on symbolism in Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms and finally I will discuss the complexity of Catherine's character in the text and throughout the novel. . Typical to its style Hemingway uses short sentences and dialogs to reveal the end of the novel. He does not describe the protagonist feelings neither says how he feels. Hemingway doesn't use a lot of adjectives, adverbs and epithets to describe feelings and emotions instead he draws a picture of Henry in the restaurant while he eats his supper from l.1-25, followed by a quick dialogue between Henry and the nurse followed by another stream of consciousness. The writer avoids describing emotions and thoughts. His elegant writing is almost poetic and based on facts. Hemingway also this technique with regularity and uses the interior monologue of a character to convey information, and thus the reader is allowed a more fluid picture of the true thoughts of the character, in this case, Lieutenant Frederick Henry. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: B, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English department), course: Master 1, language: English, abstract: This paper examines one of the most popular nineteenth-century novel 'Wuthering Heights' together with its film adaptation (Wuthering Heights), directed by Cocy Giedroyc, a Mammoth Screen production supported by the Screen Yorkshire Production Fund, 2008), in order to understand the differences between films and novels as modes of storytelling, by a close examination of both the structure of the novel and film, then I will provide analyses of two sequences; from then I will proceed will proceed with a close up on two of the female characters Catherine and Isabella and finally I will discuss the sense of cold and loneliness both in novel and film.Wuthering Heights, written between October 1845 and June 1846, by Emily Bronte is one of the main classic novels of English literature, together with Sense and Sensibility (Author Jane Austin) and Great Expectations (Author Charles Dickens), which were successfully transformed into films by British filmmakers. Cinematic adaptations often provoke debates about their fidelity, to the original; discussions about how the classic text has been transformed into film, whether adapted movies are spoiling the charm of the novel and thus ruining it, or, on the contrary, whether film has 'rescued' the novel, making it seem more interesting and worth reading in a new historical context. Can a novel be successfully transformed into film without spoiling it Or on the contrary we may consider novels cannot be replaced and by adapting them the films deprive spectators of their ability to imagine. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: A, Université Toulouse II - Le Mirail (English Department), course: Master in English Studies and British Cinema Studies., language: English, abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to show that the film's plot is built on the notion of religious, political, and emotional conflict by which Kapur creates obstacles for Elizabeth to overcome so that she is shown to become a powerful and independent monarch. The development that Kapur's Elizabeth goes through in the film is a preparation for the transition that takes places at the end of the film: that is to say the metamorphosis from a woman subject to emotions to the iconic Virgin Queen.Part one will examine closely the religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics in England and Elizabeth's policy concerning religion. Sects and secrecy together with plots and counterplots will be also examined as a part of the political conflict in the film. All along the film Elizabeth will be in an emotional conflict which for this study I will call 'temptations of love versus the demands of duty' and will refer to it in the close examination of 'The Dance Sequence.'Part two will deal with Elizabeth's transformation into the Virgin Queen. The factors that Kapur seems to suggest as reasons for Elizabeth's change will be taken into account and the director's understanding of the concept surrounding the term 'virginity' will be clarified and compared with the representation of the queen as The Virgin Queen in history, contemporary literature and asthenic portraits of the period. We shall see how Elizabeth's development in the film is related to thecostumes and make-up. I will refer to historical facts to suggest that the criticism about the mismatch of film with history is inappropriate. To evaluate the validity of this thesis, relevant statements of the director and other persons who were involved in the making of the film shall be taken into consideration.Part three will present the Historical Film genre and locate Kapur's Elizabeth in it. The notion of emotional conflict and temptations of love versus the demands of duty will be studied in the Introduction of the Duke of Anjou and the Gondola Sequence which illustrates what Elizabeth's life might have been if she had had a husband. Once again the political conflict will be introduced through the assassination attempts from which Elizabeth narrowly escapes.…
